It's time to migrate again. Don't repeat the same mistakes as the last migration. Training SharePoint end users is a waste of time - theirs and yours! Instead, boost adoption and support users by providing continuous support and on-demand help they need when and where they need it most while performing their tasks.

Reinforcement so they donât revert to old practices

SharePoint and Office 365 built-in Help has not
been helpful to our customersâ end users
Hinweis der Redaktion
User interactive guides providing contextual help to users.
As you know, VisualSP has produced hundreds of Videos ourselves in the past. Videos by themselves are just not enough. Context to get to those videos when needed is Super important.
Too much content is available these days.
Gathered data from our customers.
Mentions of adoption experts like Susan Hanley and Dux Raymond Sy
Thoroughly training SharePoint end users is a waste of time.
Just in time help: end users are not motivated to look elsewhere â so bring them help where they are
End users usually resort to calling support immediately or giving up rather than searching for Help
There are good as well as bad practices that exist in the SharePoint world. Ask yourself this:
Do you want users to follow blindly the advice they find on the internet?
End users as well as SharePoint admins can all make mistakes.
End users: creating subsites instead of pages
Admins: creating site collections underneath Central Admin
Provide SharePoint users the help they need when and where they need it â right within the SharePoint interface
The less clicks the better
Donât overwhelm the users with too much info. Provide them with in-work performance support
We tried the long articles and the long videos⊠doesnât work at all for end users!
Compliments of: Susan Hanley
No one has the micro training content (videos, quick reference cards, annotated screenshots, walk-thrus) and the type of delivery that VisualSP has - the way we deliver performance support
Who we are where weâre going and why
An understanding of how much itâs being used. Which items being used and not used. Who is using it.
Demo it.
VisualSP uses the same proven walk-thru interfaces that LinkedIn uses
Create two Walk-Thrus. One in SharePoint, other in OneDrive
Make sure to mention Auto Show on load.
Show Walk-Thrus on the Issue Tracking new item form
Customize to your business needs
A help desk person or a colleague can easily help others by providing them a link to a help item which helps the end user in-context to their environment.
Customize to your business needs
Best practices contextual communication.
Governance and policies need to be conveyed properly and at the right time.
We created this delivery mechanism for a customer to convey their announcements and policies to their users at the moment-of-interaction with their systems.
Ex:

UAaaS is a program developed exclusively by VisualSP to help our customers
UAaaS helps client make a strategic shift in thinking about supporting theirs users instead of their platforms
Onboard help in SharePoint is minimal. SharePoint content is available from the Microsoft Office help system shared by all Office components. Search within the help content is rudimentary, the available content about SharePoint is basic, and there is no straightforward facility for updating it or adding custom content to it.
